[ Let's Pretend We're Numb ] XXXTENTACION Fanfic

02

Once I had calmed Azul down we drove to her apartment. In the car she continued on about how Skies was "lowkey irritating." I smiled watching her. "If I was guessin, it'd sound like you dug him." I smirked, already knowing the reaction I would get. She slapped my arm shaking her head. "Got me fucked up..." she spat. "I'm done with these boys, on my dead brother." She rolled her eyes. I laughed some, looking out the window. Yeah ok.

We soon reached her apartment building. It was pretty nice, nothing extravagant. Still nice nonetheless.

I got out of the car, following her up the stairs. She unlocked the door setting her bag on the floor and taking off her shoes. The apartment was pretty spacious and clean of course.

She went and sat on the couch, looking up at me. "What ya think Benni?" She smiled. I nodded in approval. "It's nicer that I expected." I said teasingly. She rolled her eyes once more. "Yeah yeah" she laughed. She pointed down the small hall near where we were. "Your room is the first door on the right, near the bathroom." She continued. I nodded taping her knee. "Thanks bitch." I laughed sticking my tongue out at her. She yawned in response. "No problem bestfriend, go settle or whateva." I turned on my heels with my bags in hand, making my way to the room.

I opened the door, setting my bags down. I sighed, I was not going to unpack for a good minute. I looked around. It was a nice room. Black carpet, white walls. Typical Azul. I smiled to myself. A king sized bed sat on the far right corner of the room, right next to a pretty big window that looked out at the town.

Taking my phone out of the pocket of my sweatpants I made my way to the bed. Azul had explained she bought me some bedding. Of course it was black. We both kinda had a thing for the color. I got comfortable on the bed, holding my phone up. I began scrolling through Facebook, checking into see what people were doing back at home. I was going into my senior year in a whole new place. Although I didn't like most people back home, I missed the familiarity of it all. I sighed face palming myself. What are you doing here? I could've waited one more year... I could've survived a year then fled... as these thoughts ran threw my tired mind an IMessage notification popped up.

Oh you a senior? Me too. Where you goin? 🤔

I didn't even know where I was going. "Azul!!"I called. I heard her sigh from the living room. "What?" She sighed appearing at the door. "What school we goin to?" I smiled innocently. She glared into my soul. "Piper High ho. I transferred both of us there. We both finna be new." She said plainly, yawning and walking away. I nodded. Piper High huh? Weird name.

I giggled to myself.

I laughed. So Skies went to Piper. Interesting I nodded to myself. I looked over our conversation. Strange, what are the odds? I shrugged. I gave Skies a contact, naming him Bestfriend Skies 🌩 . I checked the time. 10:30. I wasn't tired, but school was in 2 weeks and I couldn't keep staying up till 7...

I decided to go take a shower and once done I took my place back on my bed. I took out a notebook and pen from my bag. A fresh start. I laughed sarcastically to myself opening the clean notebook. I sat it down open on the bed, going to SoundCloud on my phone. I looked at my profile, i needa do sum... I sighed. I was a musician you could say. I was one of those shitty "SoundCloud rappers." I had wrote, sung, rapped, danced, and sung my entire life. I started uploading on SoundCloud about 3 years ago and gained a tiny following of about 1,000, but that became stagnant too... with all the bullshit I had going on not even my music made me happy, but now I was determined to continue now that I was away.

I wrote some lyrics for awhile, listening to beats and deciding on which I wanted to use. I was kinda happy which creeped me out. After awhile I had a short song goin, I was a bit proud of myself. Aye a bitch still got it. I ran through it a few times, finding the flow to the beat I picked. I got excited bouncing a bit. Imma be back whaaat. This shits raw. I praised myself

I opened my Snapchat, doing some streaks. I went to my story, making a short video with the beat playing in the background.

"Benni $yliks is back 🧝🏽‍♀️"

I posted. I saved the video and also uploaded it to my Instagram account. I nodded to myself. Alright turn off the phone before the notification come. I plugged in my phone, setting an alarm for 11. Azul had gotten me a job at where she worked, some art store. Either she was helping me out or really serious about the rent thing. Either way she was the plug. I silenced my phone before setting it on the nightstand and laying down.

To new begins? I contemplated. Before I knew it I was fast asleep.
